finally visited the science centre!
saw the tesla coil in action!
saw the exhibits of old that have been there from since my primary skool days!
saw the curiosity shop that sells all sorts of cool "science" toys!
totally awesome.
went down yesterday to recce the place together with ms lee and dong. gonna be having a follow up program for chai chee sec ones there in a couple of weeks time so we went down to see what they could do there.
didn't get to leisure stroll like i intended from long ago, but at least i managed to tour the place and get a rough idea of what it's like....the recce was successful too. now all i need to do is wait for another opportunity to make a trip down to slowly appreciate the place(same for the zoo too)...and i wanna go check out the curiosity shop as well(alot of cool stuff there(some random nonsene)) cos i didn't get to explore it yesterday.
one similarity that the science centre has with the zoo though, i have noticed, is that it is littered with kids running about.
the difference however, is that at the science centre, quite a couple of exhibits were "under repair"...very likely due to the effect that such bratty, snot-nosed kids have on exhibits.
the zoo, on the other hand, wouldn't face such an issue. in fact, i think if u put a kid and an exhibit together, the exhibit would probably last longer than the kid. but that's only at the zoo.
ARRggHh sometimes i wished parents would be stricter with their kids.
control your kids, or don't bring them there in the first place!
all they do is press buttons and hope to see something happen...kids belong in playgrounds, not science centres....maybe that's too harsh(i like pressing buttons too i realised).
ok. bring them to the science centre(don't forget playgrounds though), but make sure they treat things with proper care. it sucks when u go down and half the exhibits are under repair or missing things...
ok! time to look for another good day to go down.
maybe next friday?
still need to go zoo also...
haha. then how about studying leh?
that can wait....i think.
